Course Description
The course will provide an introduction to the study of Sacred Liturgy. The study entails the five dimensions recommended by Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 16: Liturgy «is to be taught under its theological, historical, spiritual, pastoral, and juridical aspects». Being an introductory course, the theological aspect will be emphasized, without excluding the other dimensions.
